Subject: [PATCH] table.el: Wiki export
Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2012 12:01:52 -0500
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
This patch adds support for exporting Emacs tables to Wiki and
MediaWiki source.  The Wiki format is a generally accepted table
format used by various Wiki engines.

This patch is the minimal implementation for exporting these formats.
It doesn't do any quoting (of the table syntax characters) and might
not do the correct thing for multiple line cells.  Making it work in
these situations might take some rework of the exporting facilities in
table.el

Thanks for Emacs,
/a

This seems reasonable, but how much are the wiki and MediaWiki formats
used as possible receptors for table.el output?  I'm not sure it seems
worth the code, but I may be totally wrong...

I was just trying to keep table.el relevant.  Of course, HTML, LaTeX
and DocBook remain so, but less and less.

I'm not against the patch -- I'm just asking.  :-)

And I've now applied it to the Emacs trunk.
